An Andrew Hart Grail is a term used when a team hears at least 10 bonuses in a packet and has a a bonus conversion of 30, implying they answered all of the bonus questions correctly. The terms derive from the affinity Andrew Hart has for the bonus conversion statistic.

- Georgetown Day at the 2009 Maryland Fall Tournament in a 450–245 defeat of St. Joseph (NJ), in which they heard 11 bonuses
- Fisher Catholic at the 2012 New Albany Fall Kickoff Tournament in a 390-300 defeat of Bexley A in which they heard 10 bonuses
- LASA at the 2012 TQBA Kickoff defeating George Ranch 495-70, in which they heard 12 bonuses.

- East Chapel Hill at the 2013 Wake Forest Brain Summit defeating Thomas Jefferson Classical 510-130, in which they heard 12 bonuses.
A regular Andrew Hart Grail is believed to have been accomplished on college questions three times (twice by college teams and once by a HS team):
- Stanford at ACF Fall 2013 at UC Berkeley, defeating Berkeley A 475-155 while hearing 12 bonuses.
- Yale A at ACF Fall 2013 at Harvard, defeating Cornell A 395 to 365 while hearing 10 bonuses.
- Dorman at ACF Fall 2013 at Georgia Tech, defeating the College of Charleston 455-105 while hearing 12 bonuses.
A Perfect Andrew Hart Grail is achieved when a team has a bonus conversion of 30 and hears all 20 bonuses in a packet. A Perfect Andrew Hart Grail is not known to have been accomplished at any level.
